Product Description
Product Description
This easy-to-install Wixey WR700 Saw Fence Digital Readout kit comes with all the mounting hardware needed to retrofit Biesemeyer, Delta, Vega, General, Ryobi, Ridgid, Jet, Powermatic, and almost any other round rail or rectangular rail fence. As in other Wixey digital readouts the full function display measures in inches with fractions or millimeters. It has both absolute and incremental measuring modes and retains the calibrated setting even when turned off. The unit can be calibrated to either the left or right side of the blade and the auto shut off function preserves the battery. The WR700 has a resolution of .005”, 1/32”, or 0.1mm along with an accuracy of .002” per ft. of measuring length and a repeatability of +/-.0025”. It utilizes the patent pending “Precise Fraction Technology” used in many Wixey products which gives the displayed fractions an accuracy of 1/500” (.002”). The WR700 comes with 63” of track which is attached to the bottom of the existing fence rail using the supplied self threading screws and drill bits. The digital readout can be attached to either the left or right side of the fence and attaches using a unique magnet system which allows the fence to be removed leaving the readout in place and calibrated at all times. Note: This does not include the fence

UPDATE: After several projects including a walnut and cherry double chest of drawers I am glad to say the Wixey gauge is still dead on. I only had to recalibrate it once when I re-calibrated the parallel of blade to table slot. The Wixey makes fast, accurate and repeatable cuts. I don't even check the results much any more (after about 200 times because of paranoia)since they are always right.
Kit looks harder than it is and directions could be better. NOTE: before you start install get out you saw maker book and go thru all the set up from miter slot to blade!! This and slot to fence are THE most important first steps to do. Face it saw time up is imperative to any saw! Spend the time and set it up right by your MFG settings.
Now get out you new gauge. Fits square, round fences. Choose yours and follow the included directions and adjustments.
Guess anyone that’s into woodworking gets to the point where digital readout are a must have, tapes just don’t cut it anymore.
You can’t beat this easy to install game changer readout system. Worked on either side of the fence. Just move it over to the other side and zero it in. Move it back and your ready. 1/2 way into a project and need to cut one of the first parts? Easy to set up the cut with this readout. Set it and cut it. As much as I build I no longer use a tape to check the fence. It is that good. Once you set up the system as directed use your tape to check it a few times and before long that will go away. Best readout system for a sea fence out there and well worth the price. Easy to install, just follow the directions! Repeat any cut way as pie. Battery life is great and auto shutoff is great. Once you get use to this readout system you will wondering why you waited so long to install it. I love it and know it is correct everytime. Well worth
The money to loose the tape!!!

Can't really install as per instructions needed to think outside the box.
I installed it on a general m-201 . Only modification needed is the bracket that bolted on to the fance locking handle as it was a little bit too long (1 /8"). Just cut it with a hacksaw , filed the sharp edges and the installation was easy .
Any table saw that i may get from now on , this wi be the first thing i will buy for it :)
